Hi guys, I tried entering DV 2024, but I suppose I had a tech glitch. I filled the application and got to the page "your entry received ...with the confirmation number". Then I tried the "print" button, but then whole thing vanished before I jotted down the info and I have come to the new page. So I entered the info again and submitted, again same thing happen but this time I jotted down the numbers before vanishing and before pressing print command. My friend says I am disqualified. Is that so?
Yes you entries will be disqualified. You submitted multiple entries in this case considering the confirmation number was displayed following the first submission. See below for FAQs regarding multiple entries and confirmation number:
19. If the E-DV system rejects my entry, can I resubmit my entry?
Yes, you can resubmit your entry as long as your submission is completed by 12:00 pm (noon) Eastern Standard Time (EST) (GMT-5) on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. You will not be penalized for submitting a duplicate entry if the E-DV system rejects your initial entry. Given the unpredictable nature of the Internet, you may not receive the rejection notice immediately. You can try to submit an application as many times as is necessary until a complete application is received and the confirmation notice sent. Once you receive a confirmation notice, your entry is complete, and you should NOT submit any additional entries.

20. How soon after I submit my entry will I receive the electronic confirmation notice?
You should receive the confirmation notice immediately, including a confirmation number that you must record and keep. However, the unpredictable nature of the Internet can result in delays. You can hit the “Submit” button as many times as is necessary until a complete application is sent and you receive the confirmation notice. However, once you receive a confirmation notice, do not resubmit your information.
21. I hit the “Submit" button but did not receive a confirmation number. If I submit another entry, will I be disqualified?
If you did not receive a confirmation number, your entry was not recorded. You must submit another entry. It will not be counted as a duplicate. Once you receive a confirmation number, do not resubmit your information.
